Testimonials
She [Belinda] has a lot of talents and her breadth is incredible. One of the things that I was most helped by is her ability to really distill some of the main coaching techniques to the point where they were very relevant for me. And what I always loved about her is that while I felt worked over to become a better version of myself, she always found a reason to be encouraging of progress. And I think that is the wind beneath the wings of anyone being coached is that they realize that their coach recognizes that there's improvement. Belinda, you’ve been wonderfully consistent with that and I appreciate it very much…I very much appreciated our time together.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Belinda Block, whose expertise and guidance have been extremely valuable in my professional growth. Her insightful approach and coaching helped me transition seamlessly from my role as the head of sales of an insurance company to CEO of that company. Having only worked with salespeople in my career, learning about how others react to change and prefer to be managed was eye-opening. Belinda has a unique ability to build trust quickly and foster self-awareness with empathy, humor, and candor. I have continued to seek out guidance from Belinda since our original coaching work 10 years ago. I highly recommend Belinda to anyone looking to elevate their management and leadership.

I wanted to thank you specifically. Your coaching and mentoring has provided me tools to significantly improve the legacy I leave behind. I think of you often and hear your voice in my head! For instance - when I walk on stage – there is no other place in the world I want to be! Staff have commented on how incredibly enthusiastic I have been on stage. I have been overwhelmed with messages from my team after the announcement.

You ran one of the best leadership training programs I've ever attended and I still carry the lessons I learned along the way. I have no doubt that whatever you have to say today will be worth hearing.

If you really want to tackle issues that are holding you back from your fullest potential, then Belinda Block is the development professional for you. She was at once compassionate, insightful, and incisive in getting me to see patterns I had created in my life that simply were outside my peripheral vision…I will forever be grateful for her assistance in freeing me up to live a fuller professional and personal life.
Financial Services Executive,

Belinda often provided insights that I never would have realized unless she laid it on the line so plainly. For instance, several years ago, when we were working on a mission-critical project together, she pointed out that I was the one who made the difference in that and other critical client relationships, where she observed how much I truly cared, providing a high level of attention to detail and advocacy to my valued clients as a standard. I so appreciate Belinda’s astute, objective and professional perspective.

I can still remember sitting in my office and had gotten off a development call with some field managers. Belinda wasn’t on the call with me, but I later debriefed her. She immediately asked me if I was engaged in the call and really listening or, as she suspected, was I thinking ahead to the next question I would pose. She nailed it. She coached me on how to be in the moment during the next call. What a difference it made! I think of it often.

The ideas weren’t new, but it was the first time I was engaged in the ideas.

I wanted to reach out to you…Despite all of the turmoil we had this year with long term people leaving and trying to hire replacements, we improved our profitability by 46% over last year with a $1,000,000 decrease in sales. I would really like to visit with you regarding my own personal growth… I still get tied up in the day to day operations of the business and don’t devote a lot of time to future opportunities and growth…I want to change this…
CEO, Manufacturing Company
Belinda has…given me a number of readings focused on the topics we identified during our discussions…The process works well..I feel I’m getting quite a bit of immediately useful data out of it. I look forward to the additional steps…
CEO, Financial Services Company
I am a very goal oriented person who believes that people are either helping you get to the goal or they are in the way. My specific challenge was to recognize how to set a better environment for achieving success and to put myself in the other person’s shoes to gauge how to allow a win-win result.
Belinda used a questioning technique that allowed me to see how the situation may have been handled differently and helped me to recognize why I had received the reaction that I had.
I have had good success with the techniques that Belinda taught me/made me aware of. I have been able to use them both in my professional work as well as in my personal life. I can see a change after the short time and I have been working to improve relationships by changing the way I approach them, based on the techniques I learned from Belinda. It was a great experience for me and I would highly recommend it. You don’t have to be a manager to use these techniques or knowledge to improve your life!

Just wanted to let you know. I just completed my development meeting with my most senior and most difficult advisor.. Last year, our meeting ended in conflict, lack of agreement, and no real progress. Per our discussion, I ..asked lots of questions WITHOUT judgement (really hard for me to do)!
Best meeting we’ve ever had. He actually said I made some very good points and he agrees with some of my positions. We have three actions and a follow-up discussion pending. It may not sound like much but I feel it’s a huge improvement and I have hope for some substantive change.
As a side note, I figured out taking detailed notes of what people are saying keeps me from talking and helps me focus on hearing them.
I appreciate the effective help with this!
